About Please, Await Further Instructions
Please, Await Further Instructions is a short point-and-click horror game that opens on an old television showing an emergency broadcast. The screen tells you to wait for instructions. What follows is a small ghost story told through that broadcast.
Everything is seen through a curved, flickering TV picture in grainy black and white. The broadcast cuts to old photographs: a house, a family around a table, a vintage car. You click your way through the scenes with a shotgun close at hand, because the shotgun is a working part of the game and not decoration.
It was made in three days for a game jam about ghosts, so it's brief and focused, and the browser build is that jam version. You can play Please, Await Further Instructions online in a browser tab.

- Use the mouse to point and click on what the scene shows you.

What Makes Please, Await Further Instructions Scary
Please, Await Further Instructions gets under your skin with the calm, official voice of a warning broadcast. A TV telling you to stay put and wait is unsettling on its own, and the static, the faded photos and the long silences do the rest. It's point-and-click horror built on atmosphere and a story, with pixel art that hides as much as it shows.
It does have jumpscares, and the main one is loud, with flashing on the screen. Turn the volume down a little before you start if sudden noise bothers you.
Tips for Please, Await Further Instructions
- Read every line of the broadcast before you click. The wording matters.
- Keep the sound on at a moderate level. The audio sets the scene, and the jumpscare is far louder than the rest.
- Play in a dim room and full screen if you can, since the picture is dark and grainy on purpose.
- Click slowly. This is a story, not a race, and there's nothing to gain by rushing.
- You can play Please, Await Further Instructions free in one short sitting, so save it for a moment when nobody is going to interrupt you.

They built it in Godot in three days for a game jam about ghosts and released it on itch.io. FunClicker embeds their web build and links back to the original.
Can I play Please, Await Further Instructions on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook is fine, since it's a point-and-click game in a browser tab and a trackpad is enough. It may run on a phone as well, but the picture is dark, grainy and small, so a bigger screen shows the scenes far better.
Is Please, Await Further Instructions unblocked at school?
Please, Await Further Instructions unblocked only needs a browser tab, with nothing to install. FunClicker does not block it. Whether it opens on a school or work network is up to that network's filters, which we do not control. If it's blocked there, try it at home.
How long is the game?
It's short. The team made it in three days for a game jam, and it's built to be finished in a single sitting. That works in its favor: the story sets up its broadcast, builds the tension, and ends before the idea wears thin.
What is the shotgun for?
The jam it was made for required a shotgun as a game mechanic, so the shotgun is something you use, not a prop. Saying more would spoil a very short story. Pay attention to what the broadcast tells you, and you'll know when it matters.
